Anti fishing
i was once running to another spot and was going 45mph and a jetski runs straight past me and then cuts across the front of my boat trying to splash the boat and i missed him by about 2 yards. can you imagine what a 17' bass boat going 45 mph would do to a jet skier.

Crankbaits getting hung up
try this when you get hung up take some slack line near your reel and hold it in your hand, as if your going to flip to something. now put tension on your rod by loading it with the snagged lure, should look like you have a fish on to other people. now release that slacked line and sometimes this will pop the lure backwards and release it from the stuff it was stuck on.

Loomis and St. Croix
im not sure about st croix but a g loomis medium is more like a medium light in other companies rods. so loomis' rods are not the same as others in that respect, hope that helped with your question a little bit.

boosting the power of an outboard
there is a guy who lives here and races boats and he told me which he though was the best, i got the style in aluminum, i meant to say the current prop on the motor he told me was worth around $500 and just needed to be fixed up so we are going to give him a little bit to fix the dents and such in it from the previous owner. thanks for the help.

boosting the power of an outboard
thanks for the help guys, i ordered a stainless steel prop for it, and also saw somewhere else to put a certain kind of sparkplugs in it, cant remeber their name but ima try those since they are not super expensive.

boosting the power of an outboard
are there any ways that i could up the power of my 115hp outboard. its older and runs great but just doesnt push the boat to fast.

lake chesdin largemouth
i threw everything, no joke. i fished most of the lake except near the swamp lands due to the fact i do not have a console depth finder to know where it gets shallow. i got stuck there last week so i wont go near it any more. and i noticed the skys but im not sure what a front is.

lake chesdin largemouth
I went out on chesdin this weekend on the boat and could not find a single bass, are there any ok spots out there? im going to pick up a paper topo map tommarow, but if someone could just help me figure this lake out it would be nice.

Livewell questions - Ideas?
that may work but my question to you is why not just buy a cheap aeration unit for say an aquarium and use it for the live well and only have one pump pump in and out which will probably save you money also.

Buying 1st Boat, Need Some Advice On Motor HP

top eyelet cracked
i went to the local shop and the guy said he would replace the tip with a fuji tip for only $3.00 so i think im just going to do that, he couldnt do it today because he didnt have an eyelet small enough to do the rod.
-
top eyelet cracked
well i was inspecting my loomis cranking rod after i accidently dropped it and noticed that the very end eyelet was cracked, how exactly do i go about repairing that or do i need to send it to get professionaly done? never have had to repair anything on my rods so i have no clue.
